That is an idea I have been thinking about, DP.
I was looking at some furniture sites this weekend, checking out some entertainment 'walls' with the side 'towers' that have the glass doors.
I used to display a lot of my items in a beautiful china cabinet that had lights in it. But, I changed from a formal set to a very casual one and now have nothing like that. All open shelves. ]
All full of schtuff.
{maybe I'll post a picture sometime...I know you all would probably recognize a lot of the things I have collected....}
